February may be the shortest month of the year, but it’s also one of the toughest to get through—the days are short, it’s often bone-chillingly cold, and you’re more than ready for spring to start. However, February also represents a time to hunker down and cook some of your favorite comfort foods, from cheesy casseroles to soothing soups.
Using data from MyRecipes—a new digital recipe box that allows you to easily save and store recipes for your favorite REAL SIMPLE dishes in one place—we rounded up the top 10 most-saved recipes from the month of February. Ready to see which dishes you, our readers, made most last month? Keep reading for more!
Game-Changing Parsley-Garlic Salmon
Victor Protasio
This “game-changing” fish dish has lived up to the hype, and was the most saved recipe in February. Hundreds of readers were eager to give this 40-minute dish a try, thanks to a stir-together sauce made with mayonnaise, Dijon, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, lemon, and of course, parsley and garlic, that coats the fish. As one reviewer put it, this dish is definitely “a keeper!”
Chicken Spaghetti Casserole
This cheesy casserole has been a REAL SIMPLE mainstay for years, so it’s no surprise that MyRecipes users love it too. The use of rotisserie chicken is the ultimate time saver, while the rich and decadent Asiago cheese sauce that coats everything simply can’t be beat. Not convinced yet? Don’t just take our word for it. As one commenter declared: “Kids and adults all loved it!”
Cannoli Cookie Cups
Greg Dupree, Prop Stylist: Julia Bayless, Food Stylist: Emily Hall
This recipe was originally published just in time for the holidays, but is quickly becoming a year-round favorite, especially for those with a sweet tooth. Each cannoli cup, which is made out of break-and-bake chocolate chip cookie dough, is filled with a cannoli-like filling that includes ricotta and cream cheese. Lemon zest adds just the right amount of cannoli-esque goodness, while a dusting of pistachios brings color and crunch. “Everyone loved these!,” one reviewer gushed.
Creamy Potato-Cabbage Soup
There’s nothing like combatting the cold weather with a cozy bowl of soup, and this potato-cabbage number just happened to be our most-saved soup of the month. It’s made with sliced cabbage, chopped potatoes, and a dollop of rich sour cream, and is ready to eat in 35 minutes. Plus, as one commenter pointed out, this dish makes for delicious leftovers. “When I was putting it into containers for the fridge, I could not stop stealing spoonfuls on the sly,” the user shared.
Sesame-Scallion Steak Lettuce Wraps
Jennifer Causey
There’s nothing not to love about this 30-minute meal, which includes the scrumptious trifecta of steak, rice, and vegetables. The real star here, however, is the umami-forward vinaigrette that coats the meat. Do yourself a favor and make a little extra just in case. As one reviewer shared, “We LOVED the sauce over the rice!!”
French Onion Casserole
Antonis Achilleos
This casserole—our second most-saved casserole of the month—is a must-make for any French onion soup fans. Inside you’ll find pasta coated in a thick sauce of jammy caramelized onions mingled with Gruyere and Cheddar cheeses. Need we say more?
Cheesy Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Cheese strikes again! This versatile side is a cinch to make, which may have something to do with why it’s so popular. Use fontina and freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best results, and prepare to be amazed. As one commenter put it: “Super yummy. The salty, creamy cheeses work really well with the sweet potatoes!”
One-Pot Miso Mushroom Pasta
Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Emily Nabors Hall, Prop Stylist: Julia Bayless
Everyone loves a one-pot recipe, and this Miso Mushroom Pasta dish is a cut above the rest courtesy of a white miso sauce that also includes fresh sage and garlic infused butter-sautéed mushrooms. This pasta is ready in 40 minutes, and the cleanup is even easier.
Shawarma-Spiced Chicken Thighs
Buy some boneless, skinless chicken thighs and whip up this 40-minute dinner that’s packed with flavor. That flavor comes from, among other ingredients, ground cinnamon, ground coriander, and smoked paprika. And don’t forget the creamy garlic-yogurt sauce, which adds even more protein and flavor to this dish.
Caramelized Apple, Onion, and Sausage Pasta
Greg Dupree, Prop Stylist: Claire Spollen, Food Stylist: Emily Hall
It can be tricky to nail a sweet and savory pasta dish, but this one is damn near perfect. You’ll start by browning the sausage in a Dutch oven, and then let the onion and apples caramelize in those flavorful sausage drippings. A light sauce made with chicken broth, pasta cooking water, Parmesan, and apple cider vinegar coats everything, while garlic and thyme add an earthy flavor.
